Abstract

Combustion engine comprising interconnected combustion cylinders (1, 2, 3, 4), comprising at least two sets of each two opposed working combustion cylinders (1, 2, 3, 4), said two cylinders of each set being interconnected by a common piston rod (5, 6), said two piston rods (5, 6) being connected by one balance arm (7), and the exploitable energy is taken from the kinetic energy of said balance arm (7).

Description

Combustion engine having mutually connected pistons
The present invention is related to a combustion engine having two sets of mutually connected piston. Said combustion engine can be combined with a steam engine comprising cylinders for combustion and steam.
The efficiency of the Otto motor is known to be relatively low in relation to the energy of the fuel to be combusted. Several attempts have been made to increase the efficiency. Still, however, combustion engines produce large heat losses to the atmosphere.
Engines of the above mentioned type are disclosed e.g. in GB 125 395, GB 125 174, GB 189 373, GB 300 631, US 2 237 014 and DE 10 2004 013 854.
With the combustion engine according to the present invention a substantial efficiency increase is reached in relation to conventional combustion engines. The combustion engine may be a two-stroke or four-stroke engine with optional type of fuel. In a development a further efficiency increase is obtained by utilization of the large amounts of heat from the combustion process of the combustion engine for operation of a steam engine connected to the combustion engine.
In the drawing the only figure discloses a block diagram of a combustion engine connected to a steam engine where four cylinders in a two-stroke combustion engine are connected with four cylinders in a steam engine.
The combustion engine comprises combustion cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 where opposed pistons of combustion cylinders 1 and 3 are connected with a common piston rod 5 and pistons of the opposed combustion cylinders 2 and 4 are connected with a common piston rod 6. The piston rods 5 and 6 are connected with a balance arm 7 which coordinate the movements of the piston rods. One end of the balance arm 7 is connected to a balance wheel (not disclosed in the drawing). Each combustion cylinder 1, 2, 3 and 4 comprises a cooling jacket 9. Furthermore the combustion cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 each comprises a valve 10 for fuel, a valve 24 for air inlet to the combustion cylinders and a valve 11 for exhaust gas.
In a further development a steam engine may be connected to the combustion engine. Each cooling jacket 9 thereby being connected with a heat exchanger 12 where the heated cooling water is further heated by the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas valve 11 until the cooling water is in the state of super heated steam. Cooled exhaust gas thereafter is released to the atmosphere or to other possible use. The steam is transferred to a steam cylinder 14 in the steam engine through a pipe line 13.
The pistons of the steam cylinders 14 and 15 are connected with a common piston rod 19 and the pistons of the steam cylinders 16 and 17 are correspondingly connected with a common piston rod 20. Said piston rods 19 and 20 are connected with a balance arm 18. The rocking movements of the balance arms 7 and 18 are coordinated by a connection 21. Upon executed work in the steam cylinder 14 steam/condensate is returned to the cooling jacket 9 as cooled condensate.
In the drawing the combustion cylinder 1 is disclosed at the end of a working stroke. The heated cooling water in the cooling jacket 9 is conducted to the heat exchanger 12 through the pipe line 13 and further to the steam cylinder 14. The exhaust gas is flushed out of by air from the air inlet 24 and through a valve to the heat exchanger 12 for heating and vaporization of the cooling water. Thereafter fuel is guided through the valve 10 for compressing and combustion.
The steam from the heat exchanger 12, which is transferred through the pipe line
13, brings the steam cylinder 14 to perform a working stroke in the steam cylinder 14 by forcing the piston rod 19 downwardly in the figure whereby the piston rod 5 of the combustion cylinder 1 thereby is pressed upwardly. By the return stroke of the steam cylinder 14, steam from the steam cylinder 14 is forced through the pipe line 22 to the temperature regulator 23 whereby cooled cooling water is transferred from the temperature regulator 23 to the cooling jacket 9 around the combustion cylinder 1. With the arm 8 the movements of the mutually connected balance arms 7 and 18 may turn a not disclosed balance wheel by rotation or the linear movement of the arm (8) may be used directly in a working machine.
The combustion cylinder with the piston connected with the piston rod 5 and the steam cylinder 15 work oppositely of the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder
14. Correspondingly the combustion cylinder 4 and the steam cylinder 17 work together with the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder 17 by the heat exchanger 12 and the temperature regulator 23. The combustion cylinder 2 and the steam cylinder 16 work oppositely of the combustion cylinder 1 and the steam cylinder 14.
Correspondingly the combustion cylinder 2 of the combustion engine is connected with the steam cylinder 16, the combustion cylinder 3 is connected with the steam cylinder 15 and the combustion cylinder 4 is connected with the steam cylinder 17. Hereby pipe lines correspond with the pipe lines 13, 22 and temperature regulators corresponding with the temperature regulator 23 being connecting the cylinders.
The geometry between the connection of the balance arms 7 to the piston rods 5 and 6 and connection of the balance 18 to the piston rods 19 and 20 in relation to the turning point of the connection 21 as well as the distance to the turning point of the balance wheel arm 8 of the balance arm 7 is optimized as regards to achieving as large moment of force as possible. At the same time the output of the steam engine in relation to the heat development of the combustion engine is optimized thereby to achieve optimal efficiency.
